Home (Eagle Only)

[johnnygoodman]

I cloned down the pre-Panda/Tiger/Eagle homework and had a chance to work on it today during a plane ride.

I will go back and push the Panda and Tiger, but please have a look at this.

Also, a question I ran into while working this:

Garden.all.each do |garden|  
  garden.class #=> Garden
end

but..

garden = Garden.where(category: "Berries")
garden.class #=> ActiveRecord::Relation

Why so? I wanted to query via where and then use the result to do a garden.plants thing, but no dice...

[jwo]

garden = Garden.where(category: "Berries")

That's because this is still a query at this point.... For example, if I want to find the record for ME, I might have to:

User.where(github: "jwo").first

the #first is important, it executes the query and returns the first record. Try yours with:

garden = Garden.where(category: "Berries").first
garden.class
  #=> Garden

try to refrain from using "p" or "x" as variable names in ruby -- "plant_names" would be easier to read in a couple of months.
